Six Months ...............------- .75 WINNq13ORO, S. C. I Wednesday, Oct. 18, 1905. Darlington is a darling. She has joined the ranks of the pro hibition counties by a vote of ] 683 to 275. Whether you hold your cotton or sell it, don't neglect the sowing of your grain and making other provisions for raising all your home supplies. If some Columbia policeman could hold up that hold-up man this week, it wouldn't cause a hold-up in the attendance upon the State fair next week. We acknowlege with thanks a copy of Cotton Movement and Fluctuation issued by Latham, Alexander & Co, New York. This is the 32nd edition of their annual publication, which has become a standard book of re ference in regard to cotton. The conviction of ex-Congress man Murray, the former political leader of his race in this State and a land owner, upon the charge of forgery is a striking evidence of the capacity of the negro to imitate the white man all along the line, in high crimes as well as petit effences. The call made elsewhere for a meeting of the Winnsboro Publie Library Association this evening draws attention to the fact that there is still an organization in this historic town, which has for its object the building up of public library. For the past few months there has been no attempt to have a meeting of the As sociation from the simple fact that there is but little opportunity for anything of the kind, while there is so much coming and go ing as there is during the vaca tion period and people are so little at their regular business. The Library, or the small nucleus of a library there is, has not gene unused, for the librarian's book shows that the average number of books taken out each month has not fallen below the 200 mark, which in itself is not so bad a showing. This number would have been larger, if the library had had more new books on hand or even a larger collec tion of old ones. That the nunm her of books being read monthly is beginning to decrease emphasizes very much the necessity that exists for more booka for the library. The question that nat urally arises is: Will those who' are the most interested in the maintenance of a library get to gether and take the necessary steps for its enlargement, or will they simzply let what has been ac complished go to nought for the want of a proper interest on their part? That the library has met a felt want in the community can be shown in no better way than by the record as gathered from the book of the librarian that more than 2000 books hay, been taken out since January 1, not to say anything of the periodicals. The increaoing the size of the library so that its present use fulness may be enlarged, or even maintained, is a work that will require even a larger effort than has been put forth up to the present time. It is more than any one person can well do, and it will be necessary for a united effort on the part of those in terested in seeing here a public library that will be a credit to the community. What work is to be done in this direction can best be pashed at this season, for soon there will be the denmer alization that comes from the holiday season, which is just as great for the month after Christ mas as the-, month before. So the meeting this evening should be well attended and plans should be put on foot at once for the I enlarging of the library, so that it may largely supply the demands of the reading public. It will not do to go backwards in a movement that should mean so much to the intellectual life of the community. Eighteen months ago the News I and Herald was enlarged from at 6 to a 7-column quarto, mnaking an, equivalent of an increase of about I seven addition~al columns on the I]J four home-print pages and a like 11 number on the four ready-print & pages. This enlargement was a made with the hopes that the advertising, which had increased i some, would make still furthler ,. increase through the better op- I portunity for making a suitable A display. It was quite evident inI the very outset that for se'eral| months a good deal of plate mat- I ter would have to be used so as't to il up the lare sace. And was thus, though a little bit !s so all the while. A fact hichi contributed very much to creasing the advertising patrox ge was the purchase of a good uantity of advertising type, us making so much better dis lay possible. This effort to ive them better service has een more and more appreciated y the merchants of Winnsboro. or several weeks now there has een no necessity for the use of ny plate matter at all; in fact, t-bas been a problem to get I he advertisemenis :n such a way s not to make it appear that the - nsertion of pure reading matter vas foreign to the policy of the I )aper. To relieve this condition wice within the past six weeks t has been necessary to publish two-page supplement, and this week it becomes necessary to have a four-page supplement, which doubtless makes this the largest issue of a paper ever pub [ished in the county. Mention of this is not made so, much for the purpose of calling') attention to what we have done, for we realize that at best our progress has been limited,-but rather to emphasize the increased posibilities that come to a county paper when properly sup ported by its home merchants. It may sound like a very one sided proposition for an editor to say that it is good business for the business men of the com munity to support his paper; and yet it is a very two- sided one, one that has its advantages to the community no less than to the publisher himself. It is seem ingly proper for us to venture the assertion that this issue of the News and Herald will make a more favorable impression upon the people of Fairfield and those in other counties, carrying, as it does, so many advertisements and a corresponding quantity of reading matter, than any issue of two or three years ago when there was never more than-one fourth to one-third of the mer chants of Winnsboro using its advertising columns. Thus it can be seen that the town is helped by having a paper that creates favorable attention on the part of its own citizens, of those in the county and of those away from home. There is this that the business men of Winnsboro may be assured of: that the more liberal advertising patronage they give the News and Herald, the larger the efforts that will be put forth to give them a paper that will be a credit to the comn munity.

McMahan entertained his friends in a most unique and charming manner at his place near Dawkins. The occasion was an old time corn shucking and barbecue. The crowd gathered at 2.30 p. m. and the time was pleasantly spent, both boys and girls joining in the shucking. The corn was in a huge heap, 550 bushels being in the pile. After several hours' working, laughing and the tender inexpe rienced hands receiving scratches and bruises, the heap was dimin ished to less than one-third its original size. When supper was announced, all repaired to the comfortable farm house with its huge piazza, which was beauti fully lighted, and here the sump tuous table was spread. groaning under its weight of the most de liciously prepared meats, hash, pickles, salads, etc., that I evel partook of. All left feeling greatly indebted to Mr. McMahan and his charm ing sister, Miss Annie, for the unique manner in which the had been entertained. Mr. McMahan owns valuable lands in this vicinity and is doing much for the improvement of same, Others would do well to imitate his example. We hope Mr. Mel.ahan will some day treat his old friend.. and neighbors to another shuck ing and barbecue and make us ali happy. Invited Guest.
